Hey Matrix, that is my car on the Pypes site. I cut mine to size and installed it with the head pipe flanges and rear muffler clamps in place to hold the system together. I found a good custom muffler shop in my area and they welded all the connections plus made another tweak to the tailpipe extentions to make them match each other. They charged me $140 to do it which was only a little more than I had been quoted for just the welds alone. With the x-pipe, they ended up having to do 10 welds including the extensions, plus I had them weld the tang of the rear frame hanger to the pipes as well so the tails would stay in line with the frame rails. Trying to make yours all line up and come out those cutouts is something that would be tough to do without some way to bend the pipes, so I think you'll be glad if you let the shop do the final tweaks/welds. Good luck on it, Rick
